🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Elevator crowding — Use stairs for short distances and be patient with elevator waits

Camera restrictions on rides — Do not bring cameras on the Bolt roller coaster; rely on others for photos

Drink strength — Be cautious with the first drink on embarkation day; it may be stronger than expected

Show seating in Grand Central — Arrive early to secure a good seat, especially on Deck 6
